TACOMA, w. T., March ,sl.-At 2
O'Clock this afternoon Samuel w. Wall
entered the business room of the Ne,o0
office and inquired of w. A. Berry, one
of the proprietors, for Mr.. Harcourt,
the editor. Being directed tothe latter
gentleman room he found him seated at
his table writing. Wall, who did not
personally know tire other, asked him if
his name was Harcourt. On receiving
an affirmative reply, he said: II have
come up to kill you" Harcourt suppos-
ing it was joke, replied he hardly
thought that. "Yes," said Wall, II have
come here to shoot you. If you have any
preparations to make, you had better
make them" Harcourt rose from his seat
and Wall at once fired from %. calibre
pistol. The ball struck Harcourt's
breast over the heart, penetrating the
coat and vest and glancing from the
steel cord of his necktie. b. P. Boise,
Jr, city editor, jumped from his seat op.
posite and grabbed Wall. A second
shot followed, hitting Boise in the
fleshy part of the thumb of his right
hand, shattering the bone and lodging
at the base of the foretiuger. The ball
was extricated by surgeons Wall was
arrested, and. in default BIO, 900 bail,
il in jail. The caussdE the shooting
was controversy in nt, growing out
of the Ne,cs' defense a. Tacoma against

EDITOR HERALD-By special request
I hereby express my private opinion
what ought to be done by the authori-
ties in power to make Los Angeles City
the place we are all anxious to see it. I
can conceive of nothing better calcu-
lated to advance the public confidence
than the authorities to proceed at once
to ascertain the best plan to provide
sewers large enough for the wants of a
city. say, of 100, 600 Inhabitants, to-wit:
Build two main sewers through the city
from the river to the race track in places
selected by the City Engineer, and
build one on the other side of the river
to accommodate East Los Angeles and
Boyle Heights.
2. Build the city ball at once on the
lot bought by the City Council or on
any other place, but by all means build
one at once.
3. Remove Chinatown from its pres.
ent location.
4. Pave the streets with granite
blocks from Marehesault street to Sixth
street, at least Main, Spring and Los
Angeles street, and all the cross streets.
5. Build necessary school houses.
6. Provide necessary recreation
grounds, in different parts of the city,
and improve them.
All these improvements cannot be
made except by the issuance of bonds,
and l am satisfied when the people will
be convinced that the authorities are in
earnest about it. the people will vote the
bonds. The city will be beautitied by
it, and taxable property will be created
to help pay the interest and sinking
fund for bonds issued; for example
railroad franchise which is assessed now
for a nominal sum, can be assessed on
paved street at least for $1,000 or $4,000
per mile, and so on.
7. Water and gas mains ought to be
examined and enlarged.a .as the wants of
our city now demand, II the companies
refuse to make the necessary cha' ges
let the city proceed az once and pur-
chase the old water works and gas
works and run them themselves, and
improve them to such an extent as the
public wants require. When the city
once owns the franchise she will be able
to furnish water to consumers at half
price what they are paying now, which
will pay for the interest on the bonds.
1 believe that $500, 900 annually for
the next five years ought to be expended
on public improvements, and then we
will only keep pace with the march of

Nomination for Mayor.
CINCINNATI, March 3l.-The Labor
party claim that they will elect their
municipal ticket next Monday. They
rigure on polling $4,000 votes, which is
Aot impossible, and this would enable
them to defeat both the old parties.
CHICAGO, March 3l.-When the Nom.
mating Committee assembled this even.
ing Carter Harrison entered the room
alone. After hearing the committees
report, which. was to the effect that
they could find no one to champion
the cause of Democracy, Harrison
arose and for the third time
declined the nomination outright, but
before resuming his seat, he said that if
the Republicans would withdraw Roche,
and put on their ticket Carter Harrison,
he would beat Nelson 0,OOO votes and
thus save the city from a socialist
Mayor, as the papers choose to style
him.
"You cannot ask Harrison to lead a for
lorn hopes" cried the. Mayor, "when Har-
rison runs he runs to win, but not to elect
Mr.. Roche. If the citizens of Chicago,
irrespective of party, should say to him
to run, he would do So" Harrison then
left the room. A member of the com.
mittee then moved the appointment of
an executive committee:.of five to confer
with the representatives of citizens or.
ganizations. The motion was carried,
and the Democracy adjourned sine die.

THE PROMPT ACTION
Of a POst0ffice Inspector Pre-
vents q $4,000 steal.


NEW YORK, Marcn 3l.-At an early
hour on Wednesday morning, the super
of the pouch room of the regis.
try division of the New York postoffice,
was startled at the discovery that
package which had arrived late on Tues.
day night in pouch No. 606 from Port
land, Oregon, containing $4,000 in cur
rency was missing. He had checked the
package off sometime before and he
could not imagine where it had gone.
to, as no one was in the Office except the
clerks, $50 in number. The Superinten.
dent telegraphed for United States
Inspe ctor Dosser, and detained the clerks
until Dosser arrived. Dosser took the
clerks into his office, and as his subordi.
mates were away he sent for Geo. F.
Bangs, of the Pinkerton agency,
to come and help him. The clerks
were examined one at the time,
and the examination continued all day.
through the night and until early this
morning. Suspicion pointed in the
direction of VIM. A. Clarke, clerk who
has been in the Department about five
wears. He was examined last night.
For a long time there have been robb, RS
in the Department and over sixty pack
az 8 and letters have been stolen, in.
spectors being unable to entrap the
thief. Clarke is a married man and lives
in Brooklyn. He was accused of steal.
ing several of the missing packages, but
stoutly denied his guilt. AT noon to.
day Inspector Adsit made another
search of the registry office and found
the package secreted beneath some rub
bish in the bottom of a closet. 1t was
from the First National Bank of Port.
land. Ogn., and was addressed to the
Chemical National Bank of this city. 1t
was delivered to the bank Office and
the contents found intact. The inspec.
tors had Clarke locked up in room.
with them, and told him the package
had been found, and that they had
enough evidence to convict him of the
theft. Even then Clarke would not ac-
knowledge that he had taken it. Finally,
in the afternoon, he called Inspector
Dosser to him and told him that he had
stolen the package and that he
lad also stolen the other sixty
packages that had been missing
from time to time for three years. He
said he had committed the thefts to pay
his debts. He was addicted to drinking
and had gambled some. He could not
saw how much he had stolen, but it is
supposed that he has taken between
$4,000 and $4,000. Clarke, after he made
his confession, was taken from the Lud-
low-street Jail. He will have his ex-
animation tomorrow before the United
States Commissioner.
